Caravaggio's Bacchus has dirty fingernails

Bacchus is a famous painting depicting the Roman god as a simple peasant posing in a studio. The divine appearance of the character is contradicted by several realistic details, such as his sun-reddened face and his dirty fingernails. This young man in disguise is perhaps inspired by the drinking bouts of the Bentvueghels, a group of Flemish artists present in Rome at that time.
